Circular Network

Creates a circular connection graph. These are useful when visualizing the interdependencies of two elements - to see how often they appear together. If the two elements are linked then there will be a line joining the two nodes (datasets). The thickness of the line shows the number times the nodes are joined. Note, this graph does not show the direction that information flows. However, by highlighting a node, a list of connections appears.

Data Requirements

You can use any type of Datameer supported data as the start and ending nodes of a circular connection graph. The values used to determine the weight of the paths connecting those nodes must be an number.
